"What's as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, ..."

Please come to Washington State and tell our legislature this.

True.

But I'll bet it has something to do with the db admin, having had previous experience in the position, just said to himself, "I'm not going to spend the rest of my career resetting passwords for a few hundred users too stupid to swipe a Post-it from the secretary."

... the data for 8800 institutions stored in one bucket/cloud account? I can understand a model where Instructure licenses their Canvas app to all its clients. But shouldn't Step 1 be: Install your local server or lease space on your preferred cloud provider. Step 2: Secure this storage space with your own password. Step 3: Don't forget to insert the backup Zip Disk in its drive.

Remember the scene in War Games where Lightman, sent to the principal's office, obtains the school's admin password from a sticky note on a desk?

That was over 40 years ago and not much has changed since then.

From TFA:

So much for the Nordic Model. I would grieve the death of Socialism over Karl Marx's grave. But there's a fee to get in to see it.

When I think of MDM, I think of an employer-employee relationship. Where, as a condition of employment, the employer has the right to know the devices connected to its network. And in many cases, control their configuration.

As far as capturing employee data, that's also a different environment than one between a business or service provider and a client. I understand completely why getting client buy-in is a struggle.

We gotta have your cell phone number. Because security, you know.

My favorite coffee shop has had a reward system for years based on entering your phone number. Any number would do. And it's only for cents off on your next order, so who really cares?

Then they switched POS providers. Now, the phone number entry screen pukes if it's not a mobile number. I had been using my land line number for years. But nope. We can't pester you to download our app on a POTS line.

Particularly as that stability has to do with central banks' manipulation of money supplies and interest rates. AI will allow for financial hedging so as to protect investors from the effects.

Like this?*

*That site is actually a joke, right?

Don't anthropomorphize software applications. They hate that.

... to Godwin's Law for the times that people bring God into the discussion?

And if you don't buy a new PC, you can't run AI.

Bones are set by professionals, when needed. I will rely upon such people to set and immobilize my limb as they deem necessary. Likewise, psychedelics may have uses when under the supervision of a trained mental health expert. Not self administered or prescribed by Dr Feelgood.

Often times, following an injury or illness, you are never going to be quite as good as new, so to speak. This article appears to be about that. Shrooms might 'heal' you, but your brain won't be quite the same ever again.

At this point, these password vault apps are competing with people who poke passwords in with one finger. I suspect that decrypting a needed password on the fly only when needed will still be orders of magnitude faster than my hunt and peck method.
